"To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, To gain all while you give, To roam the roads of lands remote: To travel is to live." --Hans Christian Andersen

Dinner and a Show...WOW

Tonight we enjoyed a traditional Buddhist temple meal. After wondering through the maze-like ally ways of the Insadong neighborhood of Seoul we entered a restaurant, or tea house, fashioned in the style of an old Buddhist temple. After removing our shoes at the entrance, we were escorted to tables for which we sat on the floor (on flat pillows). Massive quantities of food were already on the table for us and then more kept being brought out and/or being uncovered due to being previously hidden by food on a large flat board which had been set on top of a basket with more intrigues inside. Following the consumption of mass consumables, there was a traditional dance performance. Enjoy the pictures of tonight's dinner and a show:
